Arsean lead

Fulham now lead, Chrissy Baird

Fulham equalise. Another worldy by the sounds of it.

As much as we look relegation fodder, Villa look worse. Theri next 3 fixtures after this one - [TABLE=class: table-stats] [TR=class: preview] [TD=class: match-competition][/TD] [TD=class: match-details teams] Sunderland V Aston Villa [/TD] [TD=class: match-date] Sat 3 Nov [/TD] [TD=class: kickoff] 15:00 [/TD] [TD=class: status] [/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: preview] [TD=class: statistics show] [/TD] [TD=class: match-competition] Premier League [/TD] [TD=class: match-details teams] Aston Villa V Man Utd [/TD] [TD=class: match-date] Sat 10 Nov [/TD] [TD=class: kickoff] 17:30 [/TD] [TD=class: status] [/TD] [/TR] [TR=class: preview] [TD=class: statistics show] [/TD] [TD=class: match-competition] Premier League [/TD] [TD=class: match-details teams] Man City V Aston Villa [/TD] [TD=class: match-date] Sat 17 Nov [/TD] [TD=class: kickoff] 15:00 [/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

If Norwich don't get anything from this one, then you'd have to seriously worry for them. With a bit of quality in attack, you can thrash Villa, as we've shown and other teams have this year.

Villa are such a poor, poor team. Norwich are battering them at the moment.

I too believe Gazza should, and will start. But why have you come to the opinion that Boruc is ****? Based on a 90 min game? Have a look at his career and you will quickly realise than he's anything but ****.

He's the upgrade on Puncheon we require.

10-10

That would be my main criticism of him, ok and that's a pretty big one for a winger! But he's more effective in terms of opening up play than SDR for example, who is as effective as a chocolate teapot if we're honest. Personally, In the long run, we could do with an upgrade to Puncheon.

Loved that, genius.

Yep, pretty much spot on. I tend to believe we over performed last season, and we've kind of relied on the same players to over perform again.

Never done anything for me. He may well be able to lend a hand, but primarily he's only just done electrics and cabling for me.

So that's where our hard earned money goes....! I paid him in cash, but I'm sure he's open to other methods.

http://www.domestic-electrics.co.uk/ This is your man. Very reasonable, used him a few times for all sorts of bits and bobs. Does all sorts of things, wiring, cable management, electric sockets etc. Prices are great, can do it pretty quickly as well.

This is exactly it, as I said above the only reason people say it was enjoyable is because we may win alot, and did in the last few seasons. Simple as that. I can tell you it wasn't' bloody well enjoyable when we lost 5-0 to Wednesday and Hull. One of the worst seasons of my life.

This opinion boils down to us losing every week. If we were winning quite a lot at this level, I'm sure we'd love this even more. It's natural to prefer somewhere where you are more successful, but I still believe we need to be here (and to stay here) to really progress as a club. Sometimes you have to ride the **** to get through to the good times, and we sure did have to do that over the last few years.

He looks a decent player, but nothing special, but will be another one of those average Man Utd squad players that fade away after time. He probably wasn't worth getting messed around for, just a shame we didn't have an alternative.

Bale isn't out to the best of my knowledge, he missed last week because his missus had a baby - but he has no fitness issues.

We were actually 17th, which is why his arrival was met with a fair bit of optimism. Especially with January transfers around the corner. He was poor for us though, and his signings weren't great either.

It's not because he was succesfull with Portsmouth, it's with the speed he ran back to them and stitched us up. That's pretty unforgivable if we're honest. I remember when we first got him back in 04, most fans were pretty ok with it - but his actions here have totally changed that reaction happening a 2nd time.

eh? They've never been promoted, always wobbling in the bottom half of the NPC. I'm gobsmacked he's still there, his record as Ipswich manager is shocking but you cannot say he's not been given time. Only a matter of time though, he's had a decent wedge to spend.

Fair point lol. (maybe not half, but a fair few!)

It would kind of make a mockery of our branding ''Shoulder to shoulder, together we stand '' ''Together as one''. It would divide the fan base in one foul swoop. And it's just not the right sort of manager for what NC wants to build here. We all know what HR is like, transfers in and out and being in a fair bit of control over it. I think it's quite clear here that he wouldn't have that control, especially over the tactics. I don't see Cortese being a man to change his ideas and philosophy, and that's the only way this would happen. And doesn't this have an air of ''Hoddle'' returning all those years ago?

Of all the players to get a bad injury. What an awful season this is so far.
